'Rampage' Jackson blames secret knee injury and the boredom of Greg Jackson for UFC 114 loss to Rashad Evans

Evans-shoots-rampage_medium_medium

Props: Fighter's Only

Quoteworthy:

"I apologize for the fight not so much because I lost but because of how it went down. I always like to put on exciting fights for the fans but Rashad came out to use that ‘Greg Jackson’ plan: be boring and squeak out a victory. So that bothers me more than the loss. I remember one other thing he was doing - he was punching me in my knee! It was weird because I had suffered a real bad knee injury in camp but we kept it secret, we didn’t say anything about it and we didn’t even tell the UFC. I told my doctor and that was it, he helped me out but I was going to back out of the fight. The only reason I didn’t back out was the fight had been so hyped and I didn’t want to disappoint the fans. Why was he punching me in the knee though? That’s kind of weird - did he find out about the injury? I don’t know. Its weird."

Quinton Jackson holds uber-trainer Greg Jackson accountable for his performance in the UFC 114 main event back on May 29. Despite nearly finishing him in the third and final round, "Rampage" was unable to overcome the quickness and strategy of Rashad Evans and ultimately dropped the unanimous decision to "Suga." First he blamed "ring rust," but now seems to think that bad knees and bald coaches were his real enemy. Anyone else ready to move on? Or does Jackson have a legitimate gripe?

Classic

I love how he gave Rashad credit in the cage after the fight to look humble to the fans and then shortly after we hear about how the producers of the movie he volunteered for were putting more pressure on him. Now we here about a secret injury that didn’t even show up on the post medical reports that prevented him from fighting at 100%.

Just admit it Rampage…you had absolutely no answer for the pressure that Rashad put on you and you just aren’t the same fighter you used to be. You want to cry that Rashad pushed you into the fence…why didn’t you do anything about it instead of complain? If you really are on another level like you claim to be…there should be no excuse as to why you would lose but low and behold…

As of now I think it was BJ’s fight to lose and he did so because of a bad gameplan. If he does not adjust and loses again I will give appropriate credit to Frankie.

Effective GnP and dirty boxing from the clinch (effective being the operative word here) are significantly different from LnP or wall ‘n stall. I just hate that so much weight in scoring a round is given to a guy who does nothing but push his opponent against the fence for 3 1/2 minutes or sits in full guard without throwing even a single meaningful strike. I sort of enjoy watching a good clinch and absolutely love a good ground game, but for fuck’s sake DO SOMETHING with them.

Fighters associated with or train directly with Greg Jackson

I’m going to guess that you’re talking about GSP and Rashad here. These are other fighters that train with Jackson (associated or directly):
Nate, Kenny, Carwin, Jardine, Villasenor, Jones, Huerta, Cerrone, Garcia, Condit, Yoshida, Guillard, Domacio Page, Schaub, and McSweeney.
Tell me which of these guys that you think is just going for the decision. I don’t even agree that GSP and Rashad are looking to go to the decision, it just happens. Their background or preferred fighting style is wrestling, so that’s what Greg gets them to use. If it was ninjitsu they’d be disappearing in a fog of smoke in the ring. They use their strengths which is the smart way to fight.

Rashad was a wrestler for all but like 2 or 3 or his fights. He used to get bagged on constantly when he started in the UFC for wrestling. GSP has used takedowns and GNP his entire career as well. He has stood less lately, but I wouldn’t say he has drastically changed his game plan. That’s just my opinion though.

GSP's gnp used to be really devastating though

check it out vs Trigg, and Sherk esp. Now compare that to his gnp now. You can see a noted difference. I think if GSP chilled in his opponents guard, he could deliver some vicious gnp. Its not like any of his last few opponents (sans BJ) had any offense off their back anyway.

Come on MM_Eh

You know and I know Whilst GSP has always used his wrestling he was always mixing it up and showing phenomenal skill in most aspects of MMA in his fights. He changed up his gameplans AFTER Serra. Thats cool if you prefer him fighting like that or don’t mind him fighting to decisions in a very comfortable and safe way. Same with Rashad.

Just my opinion too. There’s two camps on this one and i’m in the one which doesn’t like smothering, controlling decision based wins from ultra talented guys.

I can understand Couture doing it, the mans nearly 50 but I think both Rashad and GSP have more tools to finish matches and it annoys me they sacrifice them in order to play it safe. Again, thats cool and probably the wise thing to do but in my opinion it doesn’t create a legacy worth remembering….

I do enjoy watching good game planning though and strategic fights. Do I wish he finished Hardy…of course. I wasn’t in there though so I’m not going to hate on the guy. Like I said I enjoy his fights and don’t mind paying to see them at all. Fights like the last Garcia/Korean Zombie, although fun, do little for me. But to each their own, and at least you weren’t a dick in expressing your opinion.

Not hating on any of them, just expressing an opinion which is what this site is about.

I like a good game plan, i don’t just dont like a poor one. Game plans should lead to finishing fights. Who seriously wants to leave a decision in the hands of the judges anyways? Some of the scoring we’ve seen recently is ludicrous.

This was originally in response to people who think Greg Jackson breeds so called boring fighters. I think the list I provided above shows that he doesn’t. Each of those guys uses their strengths which I think is a good strategy. 100% of people aren’t going to be always be happy with a fighters style like you pointed out.

True

franklin is a big question mark. At this point I put him a little above a gatekeeper, but not a contender. I just think his best days are behind him.

Franklin should still be right in the mix. He's still the second best MW in the UFC, and top 10 LHW.

He’s definitely still relevant.

I can't argue that

but he doesn’t fight as a MW anymore. He is a LHW, where is is definitely outside the top 5. So, I guess we agree, kinda.

I think Franklin could whoop on Sonnen.

Not so sure about Nate. Vitor and Silva Kill Franklin. I think Rich would be top 6 in the UFC at MW. At LHW….I think he’s very relevant and not quite dropped down to just a gatekeeper status JUST yet. I think he has a run in him. I defintely think he could give Machida a hell of a fight and possibly win.

Franklin is 6-1 as a LHW. His sole loss is to Henderson which many people argue that he should have won that fight and that the only reason he lost was because damage shown from an incidental head butt and a poke in the eye.

Also, can ANS validate anything about knowing of Rampage’s injury in the Greg Jackson camp?

Oh Waaaaaahmpage, I’m sure Rashad got hold of your doctor and bribed him for the inside scoop. Idiot. Maybe he just saw Forrest and Jardine footage and saw how stupid and stubborn you are so he hacked away at it, and it was pure fuckin genius to punch it in the clinch as well. I’m surprised no one else has! You clearly have a bum knee. No secret.

My issue was that he was talkin shit in Rashads face and saying “theres gonna be some black on black crime”, then backed out when the cameras were off. That was it for me. After that, he backed out of a title-shot against Machida, then backed out again to do a movie.

Rampage was done the second he dropped Juanito as his trainer. Who pushes Rampage now? Tiki?? The only thing Tiki’s pushing is Rampage’s shit in.

Don’t forget he still nearly finish Rashad and was nowhere near what he’s usually like in the cage. If he’d have finished Rashad this thread and your feelings on your pass would be different.

Leg Kicks Actually Produce KO's.

Pepper the legs so the opponents hands drop a little preparing for leg kick then you go high. Watch some Mirko Cro Cop fights. It also makes your opponent slower which makes him a better target.

My argument is that leg kicks r boring when thats all the Fighter is doing

Aldo dominated in his fight and deserved the win..
I dont feel like Forrest did the same because he jus didnt mix it up enough for me. it was like playing a game against some1 who doesnt know how to play, so when they find out how to do 1 move they keep doin it jus to get the win. It makes the whole sport look bad when people like forrest Kick there way to a victory.. people who jus tune in for the fist time wouldnt even wanna see anymore MMA because of a first impression like that..

Isn’t that the point, to win? I guess I just don’t agree with you. Boring fights are going to happen. I am under the banner that people will remember the winner far more readily than how you won.

Rampage has now been shown to lack two things, good wrestling defense and the ability to check leg-kicks. I think that warrants me saying that he will never be relevant to the title picture again.

ya that was horse sh*t

I swear some judges just see the guy who is blatantly swinging wildly just because the other is ‘too technical’ for certain eyes perhaps? If that makes sense. Noons striking was light years ahead! But due to its crispness and speed it would be harder to see if you’re attention is drawn away from the wild swings of Huen. Its like he was sitting there going “Whoa!”, and leaning back with horror and astonishment every time Huen through a punch and was ‘unimpressed’ (or unaware) with Noons finesse and accurate, proper striking.

 And standing toe to trading shots against him is not a good idea almost every LHW out there. Page needs to get out of this one dimensional stand up against Jardine it was even a close one. Don’t blame Jackson for having a better gameplan to WIN. Sure the fans want to see a stand up but if you want to win don’t cry about a opponent fighting to win.

Maybe his knee was hurt but I wish Rampage would just shut up and train hard. Rashad is a boring fighter, that is a given. ‘Shad has good take downs but he can’t do crap once he has the fighter on his back. It is Rampage’s fault for not fighting his fight and being in good enough shape to go in for the kill and stop Rashad pulling his usual bullcrap. How about that snuggie Rashad? when he all he did was try to win a decision.

Getting Old Rampage

I loved Rampage when he was in Pride it seems like he has changed. He is weird about the fans now and I think he has made some bizarre comments in general. I am really starting to dislike him because he has been complaining about everything. He complained about UFC he complained about Hollywood and making movies. Has anyone seen the video of him going off on set? He has become a full blown diva. I hate Rashad too but am glad he won. Rampage didn’t deserve to win that fight he came in and looked like crap and now he is doing the Tito except Tito had a cracked skull. I am upset to hear too that Shogun had another knee surgery I hope it doesn’t affect him because he looked terrible against Forrest.

Enough is enough with this Rampage bashing party . All the man said was ....

… he hurt his fucking knee . Where does he give an excuse ? Ohhhh thats right you guys would rather just imply it even though he never said it . Honestly I agree with him on the whole Rasahd / Greg Jackson thing . And really if Rashad was such a great fighter maybe he would have fought Rampage the first time it was offered to him . But instead he used the excuse of not enough time to train and instead sent his buddy Jardine to fight Rampage . Rampage went into the ring after a 14 month layoff and made no excuses about lack of training or wanting a warm up fight .

Rashad will beat Rua b/c it's a bad matchup for him. 2/1 odds. Josh Koscheck will dethrone Gsp and win the welterweight title. 2.9/1 odds on that too. Peace.
